I have been with my boyfriend almost 2 years. I have a daughter from a previous relationship and we have son together. He is the greatest guy I ever met and we get along great. We met online and our first year dating was a long distance relationship. When I became pregnant he transferred his job and we moved in together. So far this year we have only had sex 3 times, I tried talking to him about our sex life but he gets defensive every time I bring it up. He tells me things like he knows he needs to be more affectionate and he will work on it. This whole situation has caused me to lose my self esteem I don't know why we aren't having sex. Is it me? Is it him? I feel like he isn't attracted to me. I tell him I feel like he doesn't want me and says he does. He says he loves me and I honestly believe him. Despite having no sex life he shows his love in other ways. For me sex is more that just the physical, it what people do when they love each other. I explained to him that sex is a important part of a relationship for me. Although it not the most important having a healthy sex life is important to me. I have no idea what to do or think about this issue. I love him I don't want to lose him but can we really have a great relationship without sex? Especially when one is completely unhappy about it?
